Abdominoplasty

An Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is for the woman, or less commonly, the man, who has gained and lost a considerable amount of weight and whose lower abdomen is now flaccid. It is most frequently done for the woman whose abdomen is stretched out from pregnancy. The muscles of the abdominal wall are tightened, the excess skin removed, and the umbilicus replanted in its normal position. While the scar is lengthy, from hip to hip, it can be concealed under normal bathing attire.
